Trumps social team putting that fake AI stuff up might cost them the election. Wtf were they thinking.

I'm really glad they are idiots. An intelligent, tactile and charismatic fascist in the GOP will be very dangerous.

I haven't seen one yet! Something about being anti education and anti social programs seems to make a less than bright pool of people. They sure do band together nicely though.

Anyone that follows her closely enough knew she'd endorse Kamala at some point, regardless of the AI thing or how the debate went. However, it does add a nice narrative element to the endorsement and serves as a warning for future AI use.

I mean she was obviously going to endorse anyway

u/dangerousbob 5d ago

This forced her to openly get involved.

She always gets involved. It’s usually just much closer to election time. Nothing was forced

Fake Swift endorsement images were posted on Trumps social media.

It was more like cowardly and shitty and stupid.

This is too small an event to cost a presidential election.

The place where this might matter could be congressional races

In a race this close, having Swift mobilize her army of Swifties against you is unwanted. Swift was largely staying out of politics. I read that voter registration jumped 500% after her endorsement.

Like most competitions, these competitions are mostly won in prep, not in execution.

Almost all of the factors that decide an election are established throughout the 4 year term. Policy and achievements actually matter. Economy matters. Etc.

Just like the last time she endorsed how Biden. “While staying out of politics.” Lol. Stoooop it. She just doesn’t make it her identity like the Reddit weirdos

I personally think it has more to do with stacking the courts to pull Roe V Wade and taking credit for it that will sink him.

My parents generation was a generation full of women who just voted like their husbands and didn't have a voice. I think its finally starting to change.
